Quick Fig Jam

1 lb. fresh Black Mission figs, diced
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. water

Place the figs in a small saucepan. Add the sugar and water and heat, stirring, to a boil. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until the figs have softened and the mixture is very thick, about 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Spread on toasted baguette slices and top with your favorite cheese.
